Celtic Literature

In these four engaging lectures, a literary scholar guides listeners through the rich tapestry of Celtic literature, drawing on material first presented at Oxford and later published in a popular magazine. The presenter frames the study with humility, acknowledging the limits of a non‑specialist’s perspective while still uncovering the many ways Celtic texts intersect with broader cultural and historical currents.

Interwoven with thoughtful commentary from noted experts, the talks explore the tensions between admiration and critical inquiry, referencing lively debates with figures such as Mr. Nash. Listeners will discover how poetry, myth, and early linguistic clues reveal the enduring spirit of the Celtic world, and why a deeper appreciation of these works can enrich our own sense of heritage.
